   Here on The List is a good place to start - also they turn up on eBay - 
plus a lot of radio station engineers were/are hams, and if you can hook 
up with those guys in your local area, many of them are only too happy to 
have that Big Old Box out of thier buildings and hair, in that order.

   It takes a bit of patience - but with the Rush to Digital - a lot of 
analog gear is becoming obsolete.

   I'll forward a pic of my station privaetly to you - I am currently 
restoring an RCA BTA-1MX 1KW rig...  uses a pair of 833As plate modulated 
by another pair - and the rest of the tubes are all 807s... except the 
rectifiers, of course...


   Cheers
